Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on a black tarmac apron. The plane has a white upper rear fuselage, with most of the rest being blue, with an additional red stripe running along the body and getting wider as it moves rearwards. The black registration "G-BMYU" is overlaid on the blue and red sections on the rear fuselage. 2 people can be seen in the cockpit, with a load of bags visible in the rear of the cabin. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a green arched hangar with its doors slid wide open in the background, under bright but hazy skies.
